Murder Packs a Suitcase (2008)
“—James Russell Lowell Mallory was gripped with anxiety as she drove to her meeting with Phil’s ex-wife, Patrice. She clutched the steering wheel tightly, her sweaty palms causing her hands to slip every time she made a turn.

But that was little consolation, given the fact that she was scheduled to leav...e Florida tomorrow, even though she didn’t expect Detective Martinez to give her the go-ahead.
